Hi, ftth - "I wonder what "bandwidth per user" assumption was made in that estimate, and how they'd grow it in the future. Another 100 billion to get to 5Mbps per? Jim K: I think I recall that you read this Shosteck report...any details you can add?" I have looked through what research I have left these days, and couldn't find that figure anywhere. I really don't know what the cost would be. As Peter would say, I misremember that the cost for performance increase was not linear. That is, the jump to new infrastructure, and newer forms of modulation would be costliest. After 3G was installed, data transmission rate increases, migration to all-IP (4G), the rate of cost increase fell. But, as Ray commented earlier, all that stuff seems like years ago. Internet time, y'know... Regards, Jim
